My Very Own Blanket is dedicated to warming the heart of every child in the foster care system with a blanket which gives them a feeling of comfort, security, and most of all, a SMILE.We connect diverse people, community groups, businesses and services through this volunteer opportunity and ministry to our children in foster care. These gifts are comforting and familiar and children can take them from one home to another.Through the loving care of volunteers, thousands of blankets are donated each year to children in foster care. Each blanket is personalized with the child's name, a tradition for "My Very Own Blanket" since 1999.
In 2019 My Very Own Blanket collected, prepared and distributed over 25,000 handmade blankets to children in foster care. Working with children's services, private and state agencies and partnering with 3 other non-profit charities, we delivered blankets all over Ohio and 42 states in the US.
My Very Own Blanket held 3 awareness fundraisers inviting guests into the Blanket Workshop to make a "no-sew" fleece blanket and hear about the mission and growth of MVOB to celebrate the 20th year anniversary. The purpose of these events were to get more people involved and help us meet our blanket giving goal for the year. The expenses went to hire a marketing company and printing of the flyers, brochures and handouts.
My Very Own Blanket held a Quilt Show fundraiser to help with operating expenses. Volunteers would make various styles and types of sewn items with the intention that item would be bought and the proceeds to go directly back to MVOB. The expenses for this fundraiser went for printing flyers, signage and thank you notes.
